Into The Path Of Blogging World

Hi there Hive! It’s me @penflecto . I am from the Philippines and a pure blooded Filipino. I am 5 foot 6, has tan skin, pointed nose, and a little bit skinny. I was born and raised here in the northern part of Cebu specifically Tabogon. I’ve just turned 17 last July 2, I am the third eldest child among my siblings. I am currently at my last year as a senior high school student here in Ilihan Integrated School and I will share a few details about me as part of my introduction.

Details about my self.

Everything is created with balance, a day has night, fire has water, a chess game has white and black pieces and life has ups and downs. In order to succeed or achieve something you must face and taste the bitterness and failures in life, like everybody said life is a game, if you don’t play it seriously you will lose.

A mother is the child's first treasure.

Ever since I was a kid I already consider my life as a tragedy especially the moment when my father departed from this world. I grew up being envious about the other kids having a father, a father that will protect you at any cost, a father that can help you create unforgettable experiences, however my mother is my treasure that even all the money in the world can't match her worth that's how I value the woman that never leaves me in the midst of the darkness. She's everything to me since she's the one who taught me good manners ,how to value things, how to be responsible and how to be contented to everything you have.

I am not the eldest among my siblings, however I still carried a lot of pressure especially in my academic performance, my family is not the one who’s giving me pressure but my self, the reason behind this is that I am a dreamer and I want to leave a legacy before I departed from this world. I overthink a lot about failing to achieve my goals in life especially my family has financial problems, but a dreamer is a fighter and I need to face the different circumstances in life in order for me to achieve the life that I always wanted in God’s will.

I have mentioned lately that my family has financial problems which is true that is why I am very hungry of having a scholarship and luckily my class adviser announced that there is a scholarship called D.O.S.T. that is open to any student that has at least 90 above average , the most important requirement in this scholarship is to passed their examination and I am hoping to be one of the luckiest student to pass and be a part of the D.O.S.T scholarship.

All the challenges that I have mentioned recently is my source of strength and a motivation to pursue the life that I always wanted. It is not just all about the life that I am obsessed of but also my family’s needs. It has been my motto ever since the beginning to create a legacy for my family especially for my mother, to purchase anything we need, and to do good things to my fellow neighbors. I want to be the first person in our clan to break the poverty barrier and I will succeed no matter what circumstances I will face.

I always believed that all the chaos and struggles is a blessings given by our Creator, by facing the struggles in life I am able to have a good mindset and transformed myself into a better version. What we expect is not always what we get so we just need to trust God’s plan and timing.

My hobbies and passion.

I have numerous hobbies and passion since I am a flexible type of person who loves engaging to an activity that captivates my. My hobbies and passion saved me several times especially when my anxiety attacks me , they became my morphine whenever I feel like my heart is burning or broken.

I am not that good but I usually play chess and basketball in order to forget all the negative thoughts in my mind, I do jogging and witness sun rises at least twice a week , I often sing on stage whenever there is a program in school, and lastly I love listening to music and scrolling on social media at the same time specifically Facebook, Instagram ,and TikTok.

Spending my time in basketball is one of my favorite things to do whenever I want to move my body a lot, among all my hobbies and passion this is my favorite, whenever I’m in the court especially holding a basketball all the negativity in my mind suddenly disappear, I feel like I am a man living in a world where problems and negativity doesn’t exist. For me basketball is not just a sports that is meant to be played but a comfort place where you release your negative emotions.

Playing chess with a friend is also my favorite thing to do. In my school most of my male friends knows how to play this game, we usually play whenever we have a vacant time. By playing chess for a long time I notice that it enhances my thinking skills and decision making. I truly believed that chess is not just a boring old board game but a silent war and a life lesson.

I do jogging and witnessing sun rises at the same time twice a week. I used to jog everyday back on my Junior high school years but I only do it twice a week now due to busyness. I love witnessing sun rises than watching sun sets because a sun rise is way more quiet and peaceful. By just watching the sun rises it give me this therapeutic feeling where I imagine all the positive things that happens in my life…

I sing on stage whenever there is a program. Singing is my passion ever since I was in my fourth grade. I still remember the moment I knew that I am so obsessed with music. Although I am not that good I still grabbed the opportunity to express my passion in singing in front of numerous people. A talent is meant to be shared not to be kept.

I love listening to music while scrolling on social media. Among all my hobbies this is the one that I do everyday, I usually sit in my chair doing my stuff scrolling on social media. Whenever I’m exhausted I always do this hobby in order to relax my mind from a long tiring day.

What are my possible contents/blogs?

My blog will revolve to some interesting things, beautiful places , important events, success and failures of my life, and motivations, to be more specific everything that I am interested will be part of my blog. Our life must go on no matter what struggles we are facing .
